Our first passage was an easy inside passage from Oregrund to Grisslehamn, but first I had to return the car to Stockholm airport. After yogurt and muesli for breakfast I drove to the airport and dropped off the car before getting a train from the SkyCentral station below the aiport to Uppsala. Five minutes later I was on the express bus to Oregrund for a 3pm arrival at the boatyard. Public transport here is a dream! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An hour later under grey and intermittently drizzly skies, we cast off for Grisslehamn, about 20 miles south, as the base for the following day\u2019s crossing. We motored gently in still water with barely another boat to be seen for an uneventful four hour passage, tying up around 8pm at Grisslehamn Marina och Camping, where the guest dock was less than half full. After an evening meal of meatballs in tomato sauce I did a little work and turned in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday 6\/25\/19. Dep: 4pm.
